Slightly cooler weather expected in UAE this September

Moderately hot weather in general will prevail for the rest of the week but meteorologists expect slightly cooler weather come September, the national weather bureau said on Sunday.

The mercury is expected to drop by six to eight degrees from 42-44C to 34C to 38C by September. Residents, however, may find their evenings to be slightly cooler this week but still with relatively high humidity.

A weather forecaster at the National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS) said this is due to the fresh sea breeze or wind that carries cool moist air blowing inland from the sea from the northwestern side of the country.

Temperatures on Sunday and in the coming days will range between 38C along the Western Coast and islands to 45C along the North Coast.

Internal areas will vary in temperature from 42-44C. The humidity level is pegged at a minimum of 20 per cent in mountainous areas and 95 per cent at its maximum level along the coast.

“The weather will be OK this week. There will be no clouds, no mist. By September people can relax, go to the beach,” a weather forecaster
